WORDS FROM THE KNDY:

Welcome to the Asunaro Association's "J!-ENT ASUNARO KARAOKE CENTER". It's a homepage that promotes Japanese music, karaoke and the use of romanized lyrics/translations for Japanese students to learn English and people who want to learn Japanese. This homepage is for those who are fans of Japanese music. It is a homepage that contains romanized lyrics along with the English translations of songs. Lyrics are from Japanese music fans who took their time to translate and romanize the songs. Also, you will find some that were done by Japanese foreign exchange students who put a lot of time and effort in making their translations which allows them to practice their study of the English language and to help the fans who are not fluent in Japanese to understand the song they love.

Please note that with certain translations, some of our Japanese translators do not have a complete grasp on English or slang terms, thus some choice of words may be a bit questionnable. Everyone has their own way of translating lyrics and I ask for you to not give them a hard time if you think it's not perfect to you. So, it's not about who has the better lyrics... it's all about helping you-the fan of Japanese music.

Since when we last created the KARAOKE section on J!-ENT many years ago, now you can find more sites on the Internet carrying JPOP lyric translations. Please look at our navigation bar on the right under JPOP LYRICS SITES for more up-to-date lyrics. - KNDY

NOTE2: I want to thank everyone who has submitted lyrics to the Karaoke Center. I also want to thank those who gave me their permission to use their lyrics for this site. The only thing I ask is that many of the lyrics that are submitted do not have the names of the people who romanized and translated the lyrics. If possible, can someone let me know who did the work, so they can be credited for their hard work. Thank you again for your support.
